DAMIEN
Watching Rylan limp away, beaten and angry, is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to see. My own brother wants me pushed aside. That cuts deep.
I used to look up to him. I don’t anymore. When I hold Sky, our bodies press together and it feels like our hearts are beating at the same time.
We stand still while the fog rolls around us and the ground shows the damage left behind. Side by side, we could face anything. It still stings that our own packs are too blind to see what we are.
Her hand fits into mine. Something about her is changing right in front of me. The dark weight she carried because of Lamen is gone. It’s like it’s been peeled away.
Light is coming through her now, clear and steady. Moonlight hits her face, and the truth settles in without fear or doubt. I’m in love
